    How do you shoot with that quiver on the wrong side? LOL Looks awsome! Love the Octane stabalizer. Which site do you have on it?

    This is the first bow that I have had the quiver on that side. It feels great. I shot right handed all my life, but knew that I was left eye dominant. After shooting 3D this past year for the first time, I realized that I wanted to be more serious. It has taken me by leaps and bounds in my shooting.

    That is a sharp bow.

    The Octane equipment looks good on that bow.

    Thanks, the ATA is 36 1/4. It's just right for a big guy like me. I had a Commander before this and that was 37 1/2. They both felt good. The Commander was in the Mossy Oak Brush finish, which I liked as well. I do have to admit, even if they were both pink, I like the 101 better. I am in the market for another bow in 09, I am looking for something in the 32 to 33 ATA range. We shalls see what comes out.:confused:

    your right, that is a sweet looking rig! I love the finish on it. Is it that velvet finish? How do find hunting w/the long stab? Does it get in the way in a blind? What is the advantage of the longer sight? You posted in one of the forums about having to use glasses. When I wore glasses, I found the absolute best anti-fog spray was at Walmart. Look in the pharmacy section. I can't remember the name right now, but have some at home for my kid to use this fall. I know the company that makes it is in California. tonight I can pm you with the name if you want. It worked the best out of at least 5 different products I tried. I had my eyes lazered a couple of yrs ago, best damn thing I ever did.

    Ya IDW I would like you to pm on the anti fogging. Thanks. It is the Invelvet finish. I don't hunt out of blinds much, I plan to in the spring, that is why I want another setup, shorter and more compact. I think this will be be my main deer hunting setup for awhile.

    That box is from Mr. Hunsucker for a buddy of mine, its actually a Parker in an Elite box, I tried to get him to drop his Z28 in instead, but he vitoed that straight off. I am a Bowtech guy through and through, although I think I could be tempted into testing out that Z28.

    Ah, I could care less, Ben... just giving ya some crap. Figured not too many people noticed it.

    Hey, I noticed you've got your quiver in the "center" slot as far as adjustment goes... Do you find that keeps your nocks out of the dirt in that position? I ended up making a mid-hunt adjustment in Colorado for mine on my Ally to raise the quiver. I sure do like having that option as part of the features on that quiver...

    I figured you were Greg.;) To be real honest with ya. I just threw it on there. Maybe I got something right where I want it the first time. I have to play with it a bit. I like the options as well.
